Bike lanes save lives and…

Bike lanes save lives and reduce congestion. Having grown up in Bloor West Village, the extension of the Bloor bike lane is the single piece of most valuable infrastructure the city has done for my life.

I go to sleep easy knowing my brother who worked for Uber eats can go to work and be safer than he was before.

And I think about my friend, and fellow Humberside Collegiate alumni, Alex Amaro who was killed at the age of 23 in a bike collision near Dufferin mall - and how her death might have been avoided if we had proper cycling infrastructure in the city. Let her death not be in vain.

People like me who do not own cars, pay taxes. We deserve to have a say in our public infrastructure. Back off your ill sighted , vengeful campaign against bike infrastructure.
